fermi's paradox       
                          
                                          
 on earth  (the  planet where  i  live) a 
 lot of  us have  antennas on our  houses 
 or   balconies,  we  have  built   large 
 antennas  for larger  bandwith, we  have 
      build specialized antennaes for     
    specific wavelengths (and sent them   
 into orbit),  we've built  large as fuck 
              antenna arrays              
 we've  virtually built an antenna with a 
          dish as large as earth.         
                                          
 we've learned about our  position in the 
      solar system, our solar systems     
 placement   in  the  galaxy,   and   our 
 galaxys placement in  the local cluster, 
 and  our local  clusters place  in the 
          grand scheme of things          
                                          
 and  we're  moving  around  the  sun  at 
 velocity and the suns  moving around the 
 center  of the  galaxy  at velocity  and 
 the  galaxy  is moving toward  andromeda 
   and we're both moving anticlockwise    
 around  the galaxy. and we as  a species 
 have learned to take all that in account 
                                          
 and  despite all this,  despite  all our 
    (cliche) beaming of fucking stellar   
 radio programmes out  in  fucking  space 
 at  the  speed  of  light (light  is our 
  medium! goodspeed you, black emperor!), 
      despite ghosts helping and the      
     collective consciousness lowpass     
    filtering, despite our very obvious   
 beaming  of  all  our  secrets in  every 
          direction known to us,          
                                          
 no      one       has        answered

             so why is that?              
                                          
 most opponents  to intelligent  life  in 
 the  universe say it's  because you need 
 a class  one-or-the-other star  and  the 
 planet  needs  to  be  at  a  see-and-so 
 distance away from  the star (like there 
           has to be a planet!)           
                                          
 but  really   isn't  that   keeping  the 
      definition of life really lax?      
                                          
 i think  everyone agrees that we have no 
 idea what we're  doing (and  it probably 
                  shows)

 i'm  gonna  go smoke my  third cigarette 
 this year  and try to snatch some  beers 
         from the local beer thing
